HC Deb 15 July 1929 vol 230 cc20-1
21. Mr. EDE

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he has received a report on the killing of Thomas Hunt, of South Shields, a ship's cook, in Havana, during the month of June; and what steps have been taken to bring the person or persons responsible to justice?

Mr. A. HENDERSON

I have received a report from which it appears that the Cuban police have the matter in hand, and I have no reason to anticipate that they will not pursue the case energetically. I am, however, instructing His Majesty's Minister at Havana to watch the case and to report how the matter progresses.

Mr. EDE

Will the report be available to hon. Members?

Mr. HENDERSON

As far as I can see at the moment, there is nothing to prevent us from giving the hon. Member a copy.
